And it's true that you love kissing her and hugging her. And when you do? You pause, hold your head next to her and say, "Mmmmmmmmmmmm..." (My heart melts each time you do this.)

I think this whole sister-thing is going to work out, sweet Lila Ross.

There you are reading to your sister... I wish I could say I posed you like that, but I absolutely didn't, sweet girl. You just wanted to read to Vivienne.

I think it's all going to work out, Lila Ross.

I love you, baby girl.

Your Mommy

Some pictures...

I adore that face. (This is Lila dancing.)

Water is SO MUCH FUN.

Lila decided to re-decorate during her nap. (Don't worry, the frames are adhered to the wall REALLY well. They shift, but can't fall off.)

We were laughing at Lila so naturally, Lila was laughing at Lila. :) (I LOVE THAT FACE.)

Still laughing...

The many faces of Lila...

It's been cold here. I'm serious.

Cold or not, the cooking of water must go on.

As should the feeding/serving of water to Ferg.

I love this kid.

P.S. Ferg and Lila have solidified their relationship: they're best friends. They play together every day. Lila kicks the ball, Ferg chases it. Lila stomps her feet to get Ferg ready to chase her, then Ferg chases her. (Then Lila laughs.)
